(54) FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR


(57) A fire extinguishing system (200) including a fluid storage container (210A, 210B) configured to store a fire extinguishing agent (250), and a fluid stream separating device (290) coupled to the fluid storage container (210A, 210B), where the fire extinguishing agent (250) passes from the fluid storage container (210A, 210B) through the fluid stream separating device (290) so that the fluid stream separating device (290) raises a temperature of at least a portion (610) of the fire extinguishing agent (250) flowing through the fluid stream separating device (290) above a boiling point of the fire extinguishing agent (250) at ambient environmental conditions of a discharge location of the fluid stream separating device (290).
